Not sure how I feel about that. The 40K universe isn't really kid-friendly, and I'm not sure that it can be made so without doing terrible things to it (I assume that the protagonists aren't going to get immediately incinerated by Necrons as soon as they show up..?) There comes a point where the source material has to be diluted so far that it loses its fundamental coherency.

On the other hand, these stories might be so terrible that they're hilarious. I'll get Attack of the Necron either way.

We have a bit of a feast for you, with the next part of our D&D / Pathfinder adventure returning. If anyone is playing along, please let us know how itís going. Any and all feedback is most appreciated.

Our cover article this month is the Gangs of Rome game; this has been written by Normski, who had the opportunity to play this recently.

Two new writers make their way into the mag, with Drew providing us with some painting tips on painting faces; check it out and bring some colour to your cheeks. We also have a show report from Tom Mecredy, who visited Chillcon recently. We also have Sam Graven contributing to the ranks with a look at the Batman Miniatures Game and Walking Dead: All Out War by Mantic Games.

This and so much more, so enough of me rabbiting on ó enjoy the mag, and as always we appreciate your comments and feedback.

I've no idea where this should be posted after scanning the various forums. Please move if this is the wrong location.

As some of you know, CDO has experienced increasing registration issues over the last few years, not due to bugs in forum software (but possibly connected to new E-mail spam filters). Many send-outs of automated E-mail confirmations never reached the inboxes. As of presently account activation is set to manual. Anyone registering is invited to shoot an E-mail to this address to speed up the process, or even make it happen at all, unless they can find a registered user to act as middleman:

chaosdwarfsonline@gmail.com

Please share if you happen to know someone likely to want to register on Chaos Dwarfs Online. Apologies to those long stuck in the loop: Hopefully things will work for you now.

Note that the old CDO Hotmail address no longer exists, according to Hotmail (we have reason to believe otherwise), and is at the least inaccessible for us. Please turn to the above Gmail address for contact: This is the current stopgap measure.

Things are being looked into. Ideally we'd like to both update PHPBB software; retain or reimplement the heavily customized features; find a working and free software alternative; and not least get automated activation by E-mail confirmation working again. Any quality recommendations for free forum software are welcome. We'll keep you updated if and when solutions are found.

Yes, that's right. Not "2nd Edition", "The New Edition". With refined gameplay etc.

So. What does this mean? AoS was released in 2015. That means, 3 years later we get the next Edition. That's rather short. Apparently GW plan on continuing the system of perpetually revolving Editions, despite me and other people hoping for the contrary. And that despite the fact that only a fraction of the range have been updated from WHFB. What of the human factions, for crying out loud?

I'll state it bluntly. The Edition model is outdated and bad. As in, really bad and not customer friendly at all. It's what destroyed WHFB. All those nifty books you bought? You can now throw them into the trash can (presumably). Buy some more. Balance updates? What are those? Meanwhile the largest part of the range still comes with square bases.

GW is continuing their cycle of favoritism by supporting some factions and then moving on before they're done. I wouldn't be surprised if some models still come with square bases by 2030. This brave new world thing is all smokes and mirrors.

A couple of pics showing models from the Rogue Trader boxed game. No info on gameplay or full contents im afraid.

Wed, 09 May 2018 13:05:54 GMTThe last update before this rule-set will be stable for a long time at the next update. For those interested, there is a lot to read on the behind the scenes and direction of this game:
Announcement and road map (https://www.the-ninth-age.com/news/index.php?news/736-v204-beta-has-arrived/)
Update...

What I find most interesting in the T9A project are 2 things:
It runs with volunteers for about 3 years now (it is and will be non profit), but it is well structured and uses organizing methods I am familiar with from software development or corporate business. Is it free of faults? Most certainly not. Yet the more I see, the more I have faith in the structure that was institutionalized to guarantee continuity. When you take a step back then the enormity of this project is staggering.
It is the first "new" tabletop wargame (it is NOT WHFB reloaded) that I am aware of, that is starting to use decentralized production by independent but supporting companies. Sure almost all of the current product will be usable for Warhammer Fantasy, at least the players that don't care about GW or need to play in their stores. The difference is building up a network to sustain the game and product companies. Right now many great projects are in the pipeline, on Kickstarter or in production. This hopefully means choice and competition in the long run. In short, it serves the customers, us the players. It is also a system that will work better with economics changing and moving to the internet.

DARK ELVES

In the Background
The Dark Elves ruled the cold lands of Naggaroth with arrogance and cruelty. If you got a kick out of collecting the most depraved army that the world-that-was had to offer, then you need look no further than the Daughters of Khaine, who now reign over the Realm of Shadow in the Age of Sigmar.

In the Game
The Dark Elf way of war was efficient and merciless, and defined by disciplined phalanxes of infantry, backed up by exotic and grotesque monsters and heavy shock-cavalry. This elite, flexible force was rewarding for a skilled and ruthless player. If you want to command a force like this in Warhammer Age of Sigmar then the Idoneth Deepkin, soul-bound descendants of the Druchii, are the army for you.

I'm glad GW are still supporting these games, even if they are sort of dribbling out the rules with the new model releases, which is far from ideal. They're even putting out a dedicated Blood Bowl magazine!

GW have put up some interesting information about this new Age of Sigmar faction over the past week, and perhaps its just that the brief background description makes them sound like Drukhari/Dark Eldar of the sea, but I've been quite liking what has been revealed.

Now we have previews of some of the models out this week:

Whilst this isn't the fishmen faction I had always hoped for/joked about by the community, I like how clean and unfussy the models are. I can already see myself getting some of the infantry.

According to Paul Sawyer on the "official" Warlord Games podcast, Warlord Games will be developing a skirmish game (2-10 figures) that will be set in the 2000AD universe. The rules are being developed by Andy Chambers and Gav Thorpe and the plan is to have a core set of rules that will be re-skinned for each story (and there a lot) given the treatment, including Judge Dredd for which Warlord have previously produced a set of rules and miniatures for under license from Mongoose Publishing.
